The information on niche subreddits always has me crawling back, unfortunately. I usually access it from old.reddit.com, so my usage shouldn't be contributing to their advertising revenue.

Still in its infancy, most of the posts/information i want to search still come from reddit. But the content I'm seeing here so far has been good.

Lenny seems like a cool guy, but I'm worried about Stally.

I’m trying. It’s seems to grow every day. Went from opening Apollo almost every 10 minutes to browsing Reddit mobile site three times a week tops.

Easiest yes of my life. Not only do I not support how they're treating the devs of 3rd party apps but they made it easy by having the only way to browse it be their app which is basically unusable for me.

I haven't been back in a couple of weeks now but haven't gone so far as to delete my account. As a software developer, I donated some of my time helping people with beginner programming questions and decided to leave those comments in place for anyone who might find them useful still.

But I think it's fair to say I've moved on from reddit. It's so stupid what they did, but I also like this idea of social media being maintained by the community it serves rather than some faceless corporation, so I don't see myself going back out of principle.

I was but the loss of Beehaw already is kinda disheartening. They had some really great communities built up

Lenny?

On desktop, not yet. On phone, no.

If I must, on a phone, then I use old.reddit.com.

I'm certainly going to try. Will it work out? I hope so.

Yes I'm here to join the lemmings

I personally wish there were more communities - it's kind of difficult for me to navigate at times when looking for communities especially if they exist in another instance, but otherwise, I have definitely replaced Reddit with this site. I just lurk on Reddit now, don't upvote or downvote, and just read some stuff that I can't find over here on my desktop, but here - I am actively engaging. It does feel more chill, and kind of reminds me of Old Internet somehow and I really like how so many people are coming together too to fix bugs and improve the QOL.

No. I have no reason to stick to one platform. Reddit wasn't the only one in the first place. You THINK everything was on reddit, but no, I got plenty of stuff elsewhere.

But I will remove reddit from the list completely once old.reddit is gone.

Please don't tell anyone how I live!

I have! I closed my reddit account 3 weeks ago in protest and finally succeeded in standing up a Lemmy instance this morning. Yeah, I am not the brightest bulb but the dimmest either. It took some persistence and going through the dog's breakfast of the documentation of I got it done.

On my phone, yes. I intend to still use old.reddit on my PC in order to keep up with my favorite communities.

I just hope lemmy instances are more searchable like reddit. That would kill any usage of reddit for me for sure

For most things, but there's some subs I still frequent. No more doomscrolling, just very targeted single-sub browsing.

There's a few subs on Reddit that might have a hard time looking for a home here in Lemmy unless they make their own instance but they're pretty small communities. I don't think Reddit's advertising partners like them anyway lol

Hello this is my first post here, I hope this network becomes what Reddit used to be

I still subscribe to a couple of niche subreddits because their lemmy equivalents haven't taken off yet. But aside from the occasional check-in, I don't really visit any more. Amazed at how much time I wasted each day on nothing.

Yep, after Rif died, immediately looked for alternatives to reddit.

Yes, I found it hard at the start but communities are slowly starting to form. Nothing positive (like ditching spez) comes without some pain

After installing Liftoff today, I'm done with reddit

I deleted my Reddit account the other day. I'm all in.

Seems that way - I'm not logging onto Reddit most days and the few times I am I'm only spending a few minutes, versus the ton of time I used to spend there.

Yes. This place is growing and feels like home

yes. I can't understand why anyone wouldn't

Yep, left it cold turkey when the protests started as 99.95% of my browsing was done through Apollo.

I'm done with Reddit as much as I can be. Conveniently they placed a block on my account because of "suspicious activity". So that helped.
